Zheng Cunjian reported.
"Liu Wufeng? He is a tough one. The 24 styles of Fairy Swordsmanship in the Cloud are known as the swordsmanship of immortals, but they have been defeated. It seems that Lord Zhenxi is really irritated this time. " Li Gang had a jade-like complexion and a long black beard. He was elegant and graceful. He smiled and said, "Plus the Infinite Sword Sect, Wind and Rain House, Qing Sha Clan, and dozens of other sects have come these days. They are all forces close to Lord Zhenxi's Mansion. Hehe, this momentum is a bit big."
"Should I reveal some information to Young Master?" Zheng Cunjian asked tentatively.
Since Li Mu had no foundation in Chang 'an, he certainly didn't know a lot of news. If he could reveal some information to him, it might be helpful.
Li Gang shook his head and said, "It's up to you."
Zheng Cunjian nodded, trying to figure out the meaning of that sentence.
For the first time, he felt it was impossible to figure out the thoughts of the magistrate.
What kind of thoughts did he have about his son, who had been cut off from his father?
Did he want to win him over?
Then why didn't he stay at the scene after the battle in the Heaven Sword Martial Club and never wanted to meet with Li Mu?
Or hit him when he was down?
But secretly, he was still paying attention to Li Mu's news.
Zheng Cunjian couldn't see it clearly.
"Mr. Zhao of Lord Zhenxi's Mansion has also come to Chang 'an and asked to see you several times, Your Honor. It is said that Mr. Zhao is the son of Lord Zhenxi's wet nurse and was Lord Zhenxi's study companion when he was young. He has a good relationship with Lord Zhenxi and has a lot of power. Do you want to see him, Your Honor?" Zheng Cunjian asked again.
"No." Li Gang sneered, "Since Lord Zhenxi has come in person, I may give him face. But he sent a servant to see me?" The sphere of influence of Lord Zhenxi was in the Fengxiang Prefecture in the east. Between Lord Zhenxi and Chang 'an, there was Fufeng Prefecture, a large province of the empire. As one of the empire's Border-governor, Li Gang had the confidence of a Border-governor. His words were full of boldness.
Zheng Cunjian nodded and wrote it down. Then, he said, "Inspector Lu Lizi of the Supervisory Department has also entered Chang 'an today. He has sent a message to the government, hoping that we can arrest the second young master and send him to the branch of the Supervisory Department in Chang' an for them to interrogate and convict him."
Li Gang sneered, "Do you need me to teach you how to reply to this kind of thing?"
Zheng Cunjian was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and said, "Okay, I got it."
Li Gang continued, "Recently, there are undercurrents surging in Chang 'an City. I've ordered the garrison outside the city to enter the city and be on duty. Every night, at midnight, the whole city will be under curfew. No one is allowed to go out except for official documents. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the city, regardless of their background, will be arrested. Whoever dares to cause trouble in the city is making life difficult for me. "
…
…
In the manor.
Princess Qin Zhen frowned and stared at the map of Chang 'an City in front of her. Her eyes were fixed on the countless streets and alleys from Liufang Street of the Musical House to the western city gate. In her mind, she sketched one route after another.
"In the worst case, we fail in the auction and have to snatch the girl. After that, we can bypass the troops of the garrison in the eastern city. It will take us an hour to get there at the fastest speed … An hour! The other party will never give us such a long time."
Her eyes and brows were full of worries.
The girl and the girl were orphans and could not move freely, which would only delay the time.
During these days, she had tried all kinds of methods, but none of them could save the girl in advance. Now, her last hope could only be pinned on the day of the Top Beauty selection.
"Are your two old friends reliable?" Princess Qin Zhen looked at Wang Chen, the Wind Gentleman.
Now, she had to ask for more help. At first, she did not intend to ask for help from Wang Chen's two old friends, because it was a very dangerous thing for those who had retired to Jianghu. It was almost impossible for them to return to Jianghu again. Once they entered Jianghu, they had no choice.
"Absolutely reliable," Wang Chen said, "I have made an appointment with them to meet us outside the city. It is foolproof."
Princess Qin Zhen nodded and made plans over and over in her mind.
She was going to invite a friend in Chang 'an City, who could help her when the time came.
However … the plan was easy to make, but there were all kinds of variables when it was implemented. In the past, when she did things, she always considered all kinds of accidents and made all kinds of arrangements. But this time, even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice. With limited manpower, she could only take care of the road in front of her. How could she prepare for the accidents in the future?
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being straightforward. Why don't you ask for help from Master Li Mu?" From the beginning, Wind Gentleman was a hardcore fan of Li Mu. He admired Li Mu very much. He always believed that it was a good choice to win over Li Mu or build a good relationship with him and ask for help from Li Mu.
Princess Qin Zhen slightly frowned and did not refute immediately.
She was still in a dilemma.
The dilemma was that she disdained Li Mu's behavior, extortion, and loitering in brothels. But she had to admit that Li Mu's strength was far beyond her estimation. He was a person she could not see through, including the three poems Epigraph of my Shack and the fact that he killed Qin Lin, the young lord who committed perverse acts in the military cemetery … What kind of person was Li Mu on earth?
Now, she was a little confused.
Since the last time when the poem in the brothel was spread out, she had not allowed her subordinates to mention anything about Li Mu. But the problem was that Li Mu made too many troubles. Even if Qin Zhen did not want to hear it, it would still spread to her ears. For example, the killing of Qin Lin. Although they were both members of the royal family, Qin Zhen did not hide her hatred for Qin Lin. So, when Qin Lin died, Qin Zhen not only did not feel sorry for him, but also applauded.
On this point, she was completely on Li Mu's side.
However, after causing such a big trouble, Li Mu's magical path would probably come to an end.
"Your Highness, I think you have always been a little prejudiced against His Honor Li Mu. Li Mu is definitely not that person. This time, if His Honor Li Mu can help, the success rate of saving people can be increased by more than 30%." Wang Chen said, "Saving people is more important."
Qin Zhen was a little tempted.
"Do you and Li Mu know each other?" she asked.
Wang Chen said, "I've met him a few times, but we don't have a deep friendship. But Li Mu is a man of loyalty, compassion, and compassion for the weak. I'm a man of good looks. Maybe I can ask him to help me."
Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment and finally sighed, saying, "Okay, then you go and do it."
"Yes, Your Highness." Wang Chen was overjoyed.
"Is Her Highness finally willing to let go of the prejudice in her heart?"
"This is really a good sign."
"As long as we cooperate successfully once, the grudges and misunderstandings between them can be eliminated. In the future, I will find a way to pull Li Mu to Her Highness's side, which will be much more convenient."
Wang Chen excitedly turned around and went to do the work.
…
In another manor not far from the manor where Qin Zhen and the others stayed.
The strong men from the prairie who had been cooped up here for dozens of days became a little impatient.
"Li Mu has made trouble. Now in Chang 'an, the number of experts of the Qin people has increased. For us, the situation is getting more and more unfavorable."
"This little poet of the Qin people is really a troublemaker."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's do it now. Go directly to Her Highness the Virgin Goddess."
"Yes, whoever dares to stand in our way will be killed."
A group of barbarians from the prairie who had more muscles than brains began to be impulsive again.
The young Army Counselor shook his head and said, "Don't worry. The money has been raised. If we can avoid using force, we will …" He rubbed his temples. The point was that there was no chance of winning if they used force.
"Save people. Save people."
"That's right."
"If we really have to use force in the end, everyone should be ready to fight. Li Mu is a variable. He has provoked so many experts of the Qin people and gathered in Chang 'an. But for us, it is not necessarily a bad thing. Good people and bad people are mixed together, and we can fish in troubled waters." The young Army Counselor said with a smile.
His smile always had the power to make people trust and calm.
The many prairie barbarians, who were regarded as barbarians, were originally restless and noisy. But when they heard the young man's words, they immediately quieted down. They nodded like primary school students and said, "Yes, Army Counselor."
The leading man from the prairie, who was like an iron tower, also nodded.
It was rare for a prairie man to trust a Qin person.
"I will find a way to send someone to inform the Virgin Goddess and the others in advance. Then, we can cooperate with each other." The young Army Counselor said again.
…
…
In a mysterious place in Chang 'an.
The young man with a handsome face like a demon gave a cold smile and said, "Haha, he refused?"
A middle-aged warrior in a gray robe answered, "Yes, I found Li Mu in the Holy House and also handed him your visiting card to express your kindness. But he refused to work for you, Your Highness."
"He is so arrogant. We must teach him a lesson."
"Humph, who does he think he is? Your Highness has already given him face by giving him the visiting card. But he is so unappreciative."
"Kill him."
In the room, some other counselors and military officers could not help but yell in anger.
In the main seat, the handsome young man laughed lightly and said, "Geniuses should have the pride of geniuses. This King can forgive him this once. Send me a visitation card again and lower your tone. If he is willing to work for me, he can state any conditions he wants."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The middle-aged master turned around and left.
The others in the room all looked at each other in dismay.
If they really recruited a genius like Li Mu, he would undoubtedly be a huge competitor for them, which was not what they wanted to see.
…
…
Liufang Street.
The official residence of the Musical House.
This was the administrative place that managed all the brothels on Liufang Street. It was also an important place to imprison some female officials who had not been trained well.
"Mom, sister, I'm so hungry. I'm cold." A delicate and pretty little girl that looked to be around the age of five or six was obediently curled up in the embrace of a beautiful middle aged woman, but a gust of cold wind blew over, causing her to shudder, and she finally couldn't help but speak in a low voice.
